Zeus version of the Smart String Utility

[duane.mosley]

so if I get this right, I either need an sscv4 or the 24pin adapter from j1sys to reprogram my pics? I have the icsp28, is there a way to make that work?

[RJ]

Soon as I can I am sending out a Zeus only version of the utility to fix this. That way no one can make this mistake.

Rick remove the current utility for me to stop any more people doing this.

please let me know so I can order what I need or try and get an sscv4 from someone. I only have sscv2

Duane, I used the same device to program my PICs. Make sure you set the jumpers in the correct position and build the jumper wire. I Tested by reading my PIC first.

I made sure everything was right on my second build (ED-zues-node count- node type) , it worked to flash the 3 strings I had connected in program mode but would not respond in vixen. then I tried to check each individual string and nothing.

Do you have a electronics store near you? (Radio Shack, Fry's, etc)

If so just make the Red Neck programmer. Cheap fast and it works just fine.

That may be a set up issue.  I was able to use Vixen, xLights.  Check to make sure your profile is checked in Vixen. I forgot to do that today.

5 minutes away. thanks Rick. I saw that diagram but wasn't sure if it would work with the 24 pin.

I am afriad this is one thing I can't help on as I do not have anyones adapter. I use the old Redneck adapter I built and posted in the wiki and it does not have jumpers. I just do it on a proto breadboard.

It should be the same setup as a pic 24fj16GA002 chip from the previous ssc or express. so you could look for the jumpers for them as try that.

Anyone else have one of these and can help?

Just saying.......

I built the redneck bread board version before and it works just fine. My J1 stuff was a gift years ago and must say I ended up using both today just for fun. Thanks again Rick and RJ.

well there is no jumper chart for the pic referenced in your quote. I built the redneck bread board version and I am not detecting the pic for the zues but if I put a 24fj32ga002 it will read it. does the .1uf capacitor need to be on a different pin with the 14 pin pic? it obviously isn't doing any good for the 14 pin pic being on space 20. here is a pic
